Hello, Anneinhistory, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

 * Hi, thanks for your message on my Talk page. You asked why I didn't selectively restore the parts of your edit relating to errors and typos. Re errors, I wouldn't be able to identify those as I'm not familiar with the subject of the article. I looked solely to see whether there were sources for the edits you made. It's quite possible this will have meant I've reverted to a version with errors in. The article was already tagged as needing more citations, or I would have added that tag. I do usually review for any typos which I have put back in by reverting edits, and could not see any in this case. I've had another look and still can't see any, but happy to accept I may have missed something.


 * Whilst I'm in touch - when I see unsourced information of this type added which may not all be in the public domain (dates of person's occupation, wife's occupation, details of forthcoming book), I wonder whether the editor who has added this knows the person who is the subject of the article, and therefore has a conflict of interest. If that does apply to you, please see the linked guidance, and apologies if it does not apply. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 13:27, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for this answer! It is very helpful. My plan now is to 1. Educate myself further about how Wikipedia works. 2. Disclose that I am Charlie's wife. Of the three choices available I thought I would use this one. "2. You can also make a statement in the edit summary of any COI contribution." 3. start compiling sources and adding them in to the existing article. 4. Update and tweak to address factual and typographical issues. (The typo is the period after Ankara rather than a comma.)

How does that sound?

 * Hi, as someone with a conflict of interest you are strongly discouraged from editing the article. You can request changes on the article's Talk page. I will post a notice with some more information. The WP:TEAHOUSE is a useful place to get advice on this or other topics. And I've sorted the comma - thanks for letting me know.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Anneinhistory. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Charles Trueheart, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 19:14, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
